Overview What is Intelligent Efficiency? Benefits of Intelligent Efficiency Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid Energy savings potential

The Technology behind Intelligent Efficiency Evolution of energy efficiency Efficient components Simple control systems Reactive control systems Programmable control systems Predictive control systems

Building Automation: Current State Problem Multiple systems Little or no connectivity Potential for conflicting goals No self-correcting capabilities

Building Automation: Integrated Integrated Solution Energy visibility throughout Security integration throughout Ability to perform real-time modeling and optimize performance

Facility Management: Closed Loop Closed loop control for real-time optimization Energy savings Productivity savings Energy analysis Track energy use Identify and correct anomalies Source: Schneider Electric Source:

Intelligent Efficiency Measures & Energy Efficiency Programs Measurement & Verification Compare current energy use against a baseline of similar environmental factors. Benefits Better data More timely data Automated communication of data

Intelligent Efficiency & Smart Grid Utility Information Value of Energy Demand Response Requests Customer Information Volume of Savings Timing of Savings

Economic Potential Energy savings from “enabling” technologies 12-22% (GeSI) Savings from systems effects 40-60% (ACEEE) Efficiency and productivity create jobs Direct vs. Induced Internet job creation rate 2.6:1 (McKinsey)

Conclusions Intelligent efficiency can play a transformative role to scale-up energy efficiency Systems thinking is central theme of Intelligent Efficiency, enabled by ICT, real-time information & simulation Smart Grid could provide the connection between customer and utility systems Significant energy savings potential warrants inclusion in energy efficiency resource plans Potential to provide real-time M&V data which could enable programs to pay for savings (vs. equipment).
